Only select a word for word translation Bible (e.g. NASB, ESV, New King James). Stay away from paraphrased Bibles like NIV, Living Word, etc. God’s Word is true. Men are liars.

Very wise (and biblical!) advice.

NIV is a translation, not a paraphrase

I use the NASB for study but also check out Young’s literal at times. I audited a class with one of the translators of the NASB (Merril C Tenney) while I worked at Wheaton College many many moons ago. I was awestruck at his humility.
